Insurance wants to total it out. And the body shop wont give me any straight info they just want to replace every little thing for the insurance $ so I didnt really trust what they said. Thanks for the answer though

Average retail value $4700.00 can't see repair costing that much. May need to contact someone higher up in company. also could get your own estimate from an ICAR CERt. shop
